Can't say I miss nedit. But it was alright for the mid nineties when I used it on university workstations (a mix of Sun, HP, and SGI hardware). I also got into Jedit for a while. Nice editor and the plugin system it had was pretty advanced for the time. This before we had the option of using something like javascript to do the same kinds of things (like vs code and other editors now do). Java had the ability to dynamically load jar files for plugins at run time.
These days I use VS Code which is more than fine for my needs and it of course has a very rich plugin ecosystem. I never really got into vi, Emacs, or other terminal editors. I can use vi in a pinch (on remote servers when there's nothing else). For most programming I prefer full IDEs. (intellij for the last few years). Or at least I used to; these days it's mostly agentic coding tools doing the editing for me.
